Finally a lotion worthy of adding the label to and putting on the online store. I've played with multiple products and lotions and found a great combo for dry and aging skin.
This products contains Olive Oil. Olive oil is rich in vitamins and antioxidants and has been linked to improved skin moisturization, anti-aging effects, and relief from sun damage. It is said to help lock in moisture and assist in creating a protective barrier to the skin. The next ingredient I love is Argan Oil. Argan Oil has long been used by Moroccan women to protect their skin from damage. It contains an antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radical damage caused by the sun. It is well known as a moisturizer thanks to it's abundance of vitamin E, which can help improve water rentention in the skin. Argan oil also has sebum-reducing capabilities which has been shown in some studies to reduce oiliness of the skin. The last oil I choose for this lotion is Kukai Oil. I had not heard of this one before starting my soapy skin journey, but in my research I found that Kukai Oil may have many notable benefits including moisturizing the skin, preventing wrinkles, soothing muscle aches and pains, reducing inflammation, neutralizing free radical damage, preventing easy breakage of the skin and promoting the growth of new skin cells.
This lotion also contains my two favorite butters, Shea and Cocoa.
Shea Butter is a natural fat extracted from the nuts of the Shea tree. It has been used in cosmetics for centuries. It contains a high concentration of vitamins and fatty acids, and is also easy to spread on your skin. It moisturizes without adding oiliness, and is said to be anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and helps boost collagen production and promotes cell regengeration.
Cocoa Butter is another fat, this one coming from cocoa beans. It has been used in medicine for 3000 years. It is high in fatty acids which helps hydrate and nourish the skin and promote elasticity as well as form a protective barrier over the skin to help hold in moisture.
Now, I can't make any promises or claims, but these properties all sounded like things I needed in my life, especially on my hands as they take the most damage as a nurse. I am constantly washing, sanitizing, working with gloves and abusing my hands both indoors and out. I just really like the way this lotion turned out and I personally just think this is a nice product and I like the way it feels...but this is the why behind the additives I choose for this product. I have included a few of the most frequently requested scents. I can make special orders if you have another scent in mind, please just give me a 14 day lead time to complete a new scent if you'd like one.
